Siem Reap at Night
Other than the new safety precautions, the temples seem to have stayed pretty much the same over the last decade. Siem Reap, however, is completely new. And it's great. Eleven years ago, Siem Reap had one major hotel, the Intercontinental, and a lot of guest houses. Now there are literally hundreds of really nice hotels, [...]
Angkor Grand Tour
We hired a tuk tuk this morning to take us on the grand tour of the temples of Angkor. Basically, there are hundreds of ruins in the area, a few dozen of which are major complexes. These are organized into two paths, the Small Tour and the Grand Tour. It really just depends on how [...]
Angkor Wat on Bikes

Ao Nang, Krabi
Upon returning from Maya Bay, we picked up our bags from the tour company's office and almost immediately bought a ferry ticket to Krabi. Little did we know we should have just stayed in Phi Phi. The ferry dropped us off in the middle of nowhere, outside of Krabi. Our hotel is not in Krabi [...]
2023 Highlight
We had no idea we’d fall in love with Iceland quite as much as we did. Our time in Southern Iceland was the highlight of our trip!
